Cristinel Ababei, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, was recently awarded a research grant by the National Science Foundation.

The three-year, $229,193 grant will help fund graduate and undergraduate students to conduct research on reliability oriented design methodologies for network-on-chip based multiprocessor systems-on-chip. As part of the educational plan of the proposal, a summer camp for sixth through eighth grade girls will be organized to encourage women in electrical engineering.
